The best time to enjoy ginkgo has arrived. I recommend several beautiful places to enjoy ginkgo in Shandong Province.

After entering late October, it is the best time to appreciate ginkgo leaves. If you want to see the most beautiful scenery, nothing is better than in the early morning and dusk, when a ray of light seems to coat the ginkgo leaves on the ground with a layer of gold. If you add the mist and smoke of some ancient villages or the sunset on the mottled ancient walls, it will be a beautiful painting.

Jinan Lingyan Temple:

The ginkgo trees in ancient temples have unique charm

In the Lingyan Temple scenic area, there are more than ten tall and strong ginkgo trees. In November, many photographers will come here to take photos. If you want to go to Lingyan Temple to take pictures of ginkgo trees, the most impressive one is in front of the Main Hall. There are three leafy ancient ginkgo trees next to each other, forming a yellow ginkgo forest every late autumn. There are incense burners and Buddhist temples nearby, and the towering Pizhi Pagoda and green square mountains in the distance. They contrast with each other, and the photos are very interesting.

When going to Lingyan Temple to take photos of ginkgo trees, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. If you go early, the ginkgo leaves will not be yellow enough; if you go late, the ginkgo leaves will become sparse. Under normal circumstances, November every year is the best time to shoot, which only lasts about a week. If there is a sudden drop in temperature or rain, the ginkgo trees in Lingyan Temple will suddenly fall off their leaves. Therefore, some photographers go there for several autumns in a row to be lucky enough to take the best shots.
